![]() The quality of the food may not be at their optimum level but they are good and still safe to eat. Most foods that past the Best Before, Best if Use by, Expired On, Best Until, etc. Retailers need to maximize merchandise shelf life.In these economic times, they want to avoid these instances as much as possible. Economic reasons. Retailers know that expired products are becoming a liability, and therefore, they have to find ways and means to sell those “becoming liabilities” into “becoming assets.” Retailers think about expenses incurred (both labor, stocking fee, disposal and environment expenses, and potential profit losses from actual sales) when disposing of expired products from the sales floor.The claim that retailers are not completely aware what is being sold on their sales floor is a complete LIE! The truth is: retailers are fully aware that there are expired food and drugs on their salesfloor and backrooms but they have to sell them anyway. Did you know that 7 out of 10 customers do not check at expiration labels when they are shopping? Customers do not really care about reading food labels, and normally do not report if there is an incidence, And because of that, some retailers take that situation and transform it into good money-making opportunities. Which brings us to the second reason: Crime of opportunity. This nobodys-watching-it-yet-so-lets-do-it attitude is an act that is committed when retailers have that opportunity and take advantage of it.Even if they have been repeatedly warned, fined, and slapped with lawsuits, and settlements, they still managed to sell expired foods and drugs. Look at some examples of unscrupulous retailers who sell or used to sell products past their labelling dates: CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Wholefoods, etc. Other than that, all dating and labelling are left in the hands of manufacturers and retailers. In fact, only 20 out of 50 states have required food dating. Not all States agree or implement a unified health laws. What we have right now are general guidelines on food handling and labelling. Manufacturers and retailers have almost complete powers over how merchandise are sold. Federal Law has no strict regulations. ![]() ![]() Hand-tied wefts are much more lightweight and flexible than traditional machine wefts. The hair itself is priced separately from installation. What is the difference between hand tied hair extensions and traditional sew in extensions? Pricing for extensions varies depending on the condition of your hair and the look you want to achieve. When maintained properly at home, these extensions will not cause damage to your natural hair! This method was designed to have minimal points of contact, no tension, no overdirection, and we use very lightweight hair which causes no damage due to heavy wefts. This is one of the reasons that leaving extensions in too long can damage hair- as hair grows and sheds, there are less and less individual hairs supporting the extra weight of the extensions. You can comfortably and discreetly wear a high pony/bun, half up styles, braids, pigtails, etc. Inevitably, some of this naturally shed hair is going to be trapped in the extensions. Yes! This method is perfect for anyone who wears their hair up often. Yes! I will create a custom color blend that matches your hair then we will cut layers & face framing to blend in seamlessly with your natural hair! The extensions are then sewn above and below the foundation to completely conceal the beads! Volume sets will require one “row” while length sets will require 2-3 rows. How Much do my Extensions cost Cost can vary based upon each individual. Your ends may need to be texturized to create a more “feathered” effect for optimal blending.Ī foundation is created in your hair using small silicone lined beads. Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE) were created to solve 3 major problems. With enough wefts, we can successfully blend thick/blunt hair! We generally need 3 rows to achieve a realistic blend on thick/blunt hair. I only use high-quality hair and methods that wont damage your hair. My hair is very thick and/or blunt cut- will these blend? Extensions range in price from 950-2,000+. Yes! This method was created for all textures and densities. I have very thin hair- will this work for me? You can get anywhere from 6-12 months of wear out of your extensions! Lighter colors and longer lengths typically need to be replaced sooner than shorter lengths or darker colors. No! Most clients say they feel nothing from day one until the time they come back in for maintenance! The extensions will be removed and freshly installed each time. Maintenance is required every 6-10 weeks. How often do they need to be maintained in the salon? Style and styling lesson to recreate your look at home.Color on your natural hair if needed (at an additional cost).How much do hand-tied hair extensions cost Youll probably spend 200 to 600.

Acquaintance Denial: In "Are You Cooler Than a 5th Grader?", Ravi goes to Luke's school for the first time and tries acting cool to get along with his brother's friends.Jessie struggles to hide her painted hand from the producers including one instance where she tries to use a heavy cutting device by putting it under her armpit and the vibration of the device makes her giggle. Accidental Tickle Torture: In "Caught Purple Handed", the kids accidentally paint Jessie's hand purple the day she she has been picked to be a hand model and is starring at a kitchen utensil video.She finds a ring in her a soup and starts panicking and screaming "no", until Stuart clarifies that the ring is actually his for Zuri. Accidental Proposal: Jessie fears that Tony will propose to her at his family's restaurant where he invites her to meet his parents in "Trouble With Tessie", especially after she learns that the restaurant has a tradition of proposals.Not to be confused with Jesse, the 1998–2000 NBC sitcom starring Christina Applegate. Upon the show's conclusion after 98 episodes (101 when counting one-hour episodes as two as per production coding), it stands as the second-longest live-action show in network history behind Wizards of Waverly Place, and third overall behind Phineas and Ferb. Luke was not a part of the show as his actor Cameron Boyce was given his own show on Disney XD, Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything. In 2015, the announcement that the series' fourth season would be its last was made in tandem with the announcement that Emma, Ravi & Zuri would get their own spinoff series Bunk'd, which premiered July 31, 2015. As it currently stands, it's the most crossed-over show and the show most extensively linked to other shows on Disney Channel. ![]() They even crossed over into Ultimate Spider-Man (2012), teaming up with the Wall Crawler against Morgan le Fey for a Halloween Episode. There was also a Christmas-themed crossover episode with Liv and Maddie, albeit partially since it's missing the leads of the other show ( Jessie's Aloha Holidays with Parker and Joey), making it the only series to have an unprecedented three live action crossover episodes since the Hannah Montana era (later tying Hannah Montana with the massive "Monstober" crossover event). ![]() The series is extensively linked to the Disney Channel Live-Action Universe through two massive crossover episodes with Austin & Ally ( Austin & JESSIE & Ally: All Star New Year airing December 2012) and with Good Luck Charlie ( Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas airing November 2013). It's notable among Disney Channel comedies for having its lead character be in her late teens from the start of the series and progress into marriage in later seasons (both firsts for Disney Channel), as such shows typically center around lead characters of middle/junior high or high school age. Jessie was created by Pamela Eells O'Connell ( The Suite Life of Zack & Cody/ On Deck, as well as being an executive producer of The Nanny). The butler Bertram Winkle ( Kevin Chamberlin) and the doorman Tony Ciccolini (Chris Galya) help her from time to time. The family is comprised of a film director, his business mogul wife, their four children - 13-year old Emma ( Peyton List), 12-year old Luke ( Cameron Boyce), 10-year old Ravi ( Karan Brar) and 7-year old Zuri ( Skai Jackson), the latter three being adopted - and their pet Mrs. The series stars Debby Ryan as the title character Jessie Prescott, an 18-year old woman who moves from Fort Hood, Texas to New York City, eager to forge a life of her own against the wishes of her father.ĭue to an unexpected turn of events, Jessie ends up becoming the nanny for the affluent Ross family, who live in a multi-million-dollar penthouse on the Upper West Side. Jessie is a Disney Channel original Kid Com series which debuted on Septemand ended on Octoafter four seasons. ![]() And while Hotspot claims that data is anonymized, it's not that hard to de-anonymize most data. And Hotspot collects a lot of data.Īlthough its website says Hotspot's current parent company "does not record your VPN browsing activities in any way that can be associated back to you," Hotspot currently collects way more user data than any VPN should. Of course, if you're a VPN company that likes to collect user activity data, moving to RAM-only servers could make that a lot harder. That's why you've seen top-tier privacy players like ExpressVPN (save for two virtual servers), Surfshark and NordVPN move to 100% RAM-only servers in the recent past. While they can potentially create more speed for a service, virtual servers are generally considered less secure than bare metal. The free version of our Hotspot Shield solution openly and clearly states that it is funded by ads, however, we intercept no traffic with neither the free nor the premium version of our solutions."ĪnchorFree went on to offer annual transparency reports, although their value is still up to the reader.Īnother privacy issue is that we don't know which of Hotspot's servers are virtual and which are bare metal (or physical), and we don't know where each of these servers are located. When the story broke, Hotspot's then-parent company, AnchorFree, denied the researchers' findings in an email to Ars Technica: "We never redirect our users' traffic to any third-party resources instead of the websites they intended to visit. Carnegie Mellon University researchers found the company not only had a baked-in backdoor used to secretly sell data to third-party advertising networks, but it also employed five different tracking libraries, and actually redirected user traffic to secret servers. In 2017 Hotspot was hit with an FTC complaint for allegedly over-the-top privacy violations in serving ads. Hotspot's response was offered once the vulnerability was fixed. The 2021 incident was preceded by another privacy scandal in 2018, when a researcher found Hotspot leaking information about users' Wi-Fi networks. On Windows machines, you can find your IPv6 options under your Wi-Fi Properties menu, in the Networking tab. While you're at it, enable Hotspot's kill switch in its settings menu before using it (it's disabled by default). ![]() ![]() Windows users should make sure they've disabled IPv6 on their machines (it's enabled by default on Windows) before using HotSpot. While testing Hotspot with a default configuration Windows machine, my IPv6 was exposed while my IPv4 was not. These websites come to this wrong conclusion because the DNS request is not going through the VPN tunnel and don't check that the request is encrypted," the site says. It's true that some online websites that detect DNS leaks indicate that there may be a leak with our VPN. We encrypt the DNS request and that prevents DNS leaks. "Hotspot Shield does not leak when making DNS requests. , that appeal to authority isn't much of an argument against greater transparency. Although Hotspot touts the use of its protocol by big names in security like While the protocol is a core component of its incredible speeds, it's still not made available for public audits like its open source alternative protocol, OpenVPN. Hotspot uses its closed-source, proprietary Catapult Hydra protocol. Hotspot Shield has an undeniably dodgy past, its protocol is closed source, and its data collection and privacy policy are concerning. If, however, you're less concerned with quickly streaming media and more focused on finding a VPN with a strong reputation for privacy, you should choose a different VPN. Pain points: Excessive logging, lack of audits, closed source protocol. ![]() Hotspot Shield offers incredibly fast speeds for a VPN, but it's privacy policies are lacking. Overall non-VPN speeds averaged about 250 Mbps. Singapore tested ahead of Australian, however, where speeds struggled at an average 142 Mbps. Although Singapore speeds reached a peak of 270 Mbps, their average was just 167 Mbps due to wild swings in speeds, where HotSpot's overall slowest score of 30 Mbps was clocked. US speeds peaked at 348 Mbps, but averaged just 183 Mbps overall. , torrenting, browsing, streaming - speed-dependent services won't be slowed down for Hotspot Shield users in the UK.Īs usual with European connection speeds, high scores in France were balanced by low scores in Germany for an average of 203 Mbps. If my tests were solely based on connections to servers in the UK, we'd have a new speed champion: Speed loss on London connections was under 8%, with a satisfying 230 Mbps average download speed and a peak speed test of 349 Mbps. A 26% speed loss puts it in second place in our speed rankings, falling behind Surfshark - which lost just 16.9% of its speed the last time I tested it - and knocking ExpressVPN down to third place with a 51.8% speed loss at last measurement.

![]() The pressure gradient inside the thorax changes with a pneumothorax. Pneumomediastinum has an incidence of 1 case per 10,000 admissions in the hospital. The incidence of tension pneumothorax is challenging to determine as one-third of cases in trauma centers have decompressive needle thoracostomies before reaching the hospital, and not all of these had tension pneumothorax. The incidence of iatrogenic pneumothorax is 5 per 10,000 admissions in the hospital. These occur more frequently than spontaneous pneumothorax, and their number increases as intensive care modalities advance. The leading cause of iatrogenic pneumothorax is transthoracic needle aspiration (usually for biopsies), and the second leading cause is central venous catheterization. The risk of spontaneous pneumothorax in heavy smokers is 102 times higher than in non-smokers. COPD has an incidence of 26 pneumothoraces per 100,000 patients. The incidence of SSP is 6.3 and 2 cases for men and women per 100,000 patients, respectively. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is seen more in old-age patients 60-65 years. The recurrence rate is highest over the first 30 days. Most recurrence occurs within the first year, and incidence ranges widely from 25% to 50%. ![]() The incidence of PSP in the United States is 7 per 100,000 men and 1 per 100,000 women per year. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax mainly occurs at 20-30 years of age. Open pneumothorax is an open wound in the chest wall through which air moves in and out. A simple pneumothorax does not shift the mediastinal structures, as does a tension pneumothorax. Pneumothoraces can be even further classified as simple, tension, or open. ![]() A traumatic pneumothorax can be the result of blunt or penetrating trauma. A primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs automatically without a known eliciting event, while a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) occurs after an underlying pulmonary disease. The two subtypes of atraumatic pneumothorax are primary and secondary. There are two types of pneumothorax: traumatic and atraumatic. Air can enter the pleural space by two mechanisms, either by trauma causing communication through the chest wall or from the lung by rupture of the visceral pleura. The degree of collapse determines the clinical presentation of pneumothorax. The air accumulation can apply pressure on the lung and make it collapse. It occurs when air accumulates between the parietal and visceral pleurae inside the chest. A pneumothorax is a collection of air outside the lung but within the pleural cavity. ![]() Signals for autophagy can be measured in under 24 hours in humans, but predictive modeling suggests that the fasting autophagy dimmer switch is not at peak “brightness” until 36–72 hours into your fast. The process kicks off when energy levels are low so the body actually benefits from cellular cleanup, in addition to being able to conserve and/or create energy through autophagy. Autophagy is a process in which your cells break down and recycle used or worn out materials. AutophagyĪutophagy is probably one of the best examples of a biological dimmer switch. Fasts greater than 12 hours in length are not advised for people under the age of 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, or anyone with a history of an eating disorder. Many people naturally follow a 12-hour fast since they are asleep for 8 of those hours, which makes this approach seem less restrictive. The 16-hour fast is 4 hours longer and can be slightly more difficult to complete than a 12-hour fast. The first, and most obvious, difference between the 12-hour and the 16-hour fast is the duration. While the 12 and 16-hour fast have many important similarities, the research suggests that there are differences between the two to consider, especially when first starting out. Key Differences Between a 12-Hour Fast and a 16-Hour Fast Most of the key differences between 12-hour and 16-hour fasts are the result of allowing more time for fasting processes throughout the body to truly get going. ![]() There are very few metabolic or biological processes that work like on/off switches generally, they are more like dimmer switches. Fasting for 16 hours extends these benefits. In most cases, fasting for at least 12 hours turns on some specific, fasted-state biological functions in your body. This change turns on fat-burning machinery in your cells so that you can meet your energy needs. 16 Hoursįrom an energy standpoint, when you fast for at least 12 hours, your blood-sugar levels decrease to baseline levels. ![]() What Happens in Your Body When You Fast for 12 Hours vs. Let’s get into the major differences between fasting for 12 hours and 16 hours. The New England Journal of Medicine published a review of intermittent-fasting effects on health, aging, and disease, which summarizes the research into the benefits of different fasting lengths. What Is 12:12 and 16:8 Intermittent Fasting?įasting involves abstaining from all calories in food or drink for a given period of time. There are many options in the world of IF, but which option is best for you? If you’re trying to choose between a 12:12 or a 16:8 fast, this article is for you. Intermittent fasting (IF) is a powerful tool for metabolic health. ![]() The dragon blasts open the ant nest, but gets attacked and ends up damaged. They eventually manage to make the dragon (an automaton) and get it to save Beckendorf. They decide to find and recreate the huge bronze dragon that was once one of Camp Half-Blood's defences. Percy, Annabeth and Silena attempts to rescue Beckendorf. Beckendorf, who believes this is a blessing from his father Hephaestus, runs up to get it and end up getting captured. Instead, Percy gets caught by Annabeth and Silena Beauregard while Beckondorf finds the dreaded Myrmekes (giant, blood-red ants) carrying a bronze dragon head at the Ant Hill. During the game, he and Beckendorf try to sneak up to the enemy territory to find the flag. Beckendorf, a son of Hephaestus,suggests Percy to ask Annabeth, daughter of Athena, to the Fourth of July fireworks, the biggest dating event of the summer at Camp Half-Blood. Percy Jackson and Charles Beckendorf are on the same team for capture the flag. ![]() The story takes place in between The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian. They bring the chariot to Ares' Temple to the Intrepid. They battle the two gods once they discover how to counter the terror or fear. Percy offers his help, and Clarisse reluctantly accepts it. However her immortal brothers, Phobos (representing fear) and Deimos (representing terror), the usual drivers and guardians of the chariot, have stolen it from Clarisse out of jealousy. After the fight, Clarisse reveals that, as part of a ritual for the children of Ares, she must bring the Ares war chariot back to his temple on the Intrepid, an aircraft carrier that has now become a museum, by sundown or she would be in trouble. Percy Jackson saves Clarisse La Rue from feather-shooting birds in his school. Stories Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot It is set between the fourth and fifth novels, The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian.Īdditional contents are a letter from the Camp Half-Blood scribe Rick Riordan, question-and-answer style "interviews" with some of the campers, and various activities such as a crossword puzzle, and a preview of The Last Olympian.Īntonio Caparo created the character designs.
